*UPDATED* Clarification for current travel requirements to Jamaica:

Check your passport to make sure it will not expire within 6 months of the return date, or it will need to be sent off for renewal.

Currently, due to COVID-19, Jamaica has certain travel restrictions in place that you must be aware of. You must...

1) Present a negative COVID test, taken within 3 days of your arrival. The test must be a molecular (PCR, NAA, RNA) or Antigen test performed by an accredited lab for which the sample was collected within 3 days of the travel date. This will be checked at all airports and boarding will be denied without it. YOUR NAME & DATE OF BIRTH ON THIS MUST MATCH YOUR PASSPORT EXACTLY!

“All passengers 12 and up traveling from the United States and other high risk locations as decided by Jamaica will be required to upload a valid negative PCR or Antigen COVID-19 test. *Effective 3/10, the negative test can be no more than 72 hours old on the expected arrival date.*

Visitors will be required to bring the negative test result with them. If you arrive from a high-risk area without a negative test result, you may be denied entry into the country or required to take a test onsite before allowed entry.

If your onsite test result is positive, you will be required to quarantine in Jamaica for 14 days at your own expense. (Currently most resorts we book are providing quarantine accommodations at no extra charge for those who test positive.)

The test must be conducted by a medical laboratory with either of the following credentials:
Accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP)
Registered by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)
ISO 15189 certification.”

2) Apply for and obtain an approved travel authorization form within 7 days of arrival, also checked for at the airports before being allowed to board and again upon arrival in Jamaica. YOUR NAME & DATE OF BIRTH ON THIS MUST MATCH YOUR PASSPORT EXACTLY! ***date of birth must be filled in as DAY/MONTH/YEAR***

3) Upon arrival at your resort, immediately schedule appointments to test again no more than 3 days prior to your flight home to comply with the CDC order for re-entry to the US. YOUR NAME & DATE OF BIRTH ON THIS MUST MATCH YOUR PASSPORT EXACTLY!
